Life is a dream

Thought I had already published this:

Life is dream reminded me of not only the matrix, but also the book neuromancer by william gibson. Due to the dreamlike quality of the alternate realities in which each of the main character's live. In life is a dream Segismudo lives in a prison so for him the real world is a dream, and in his first interaction with it he acts as though it were a dream doing things that are only ok in dreams. Same goes for the matrix when neo first gets explained that the world he lives in isn't real he start to attack people and scream this isnt real. In neuro mancer case when he becomes uncrippled, starts to try to do things that will mess himself up, unfortunately there is a safety mechanism that makes it so drugs cannot affect him. the ending in neuromancer is very dreamlike as well - "And one October night , punching himself past the scarlet tiers of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority, he saw three figures, tiny, impossible, who stood at the very edge of one of the vast steps of data. Small as they were, he could make out the boy's grin, his pink gums, the glitter of the long gray eyes that had been riviera's. Linda still wore his jacket;she waved, as he passed. But the third figure, close behind her, arm across her shoulders, was himself." This dreamlike quality to the world and the lifes of the main characters is what all these creators were trying to broach through different art forms.
